A/HRC/35/25 3.2 Implement a human rights-based approach to migration and border management, ensuring that the rights of all migrants are always the first consideration 3.3. Respect and protect the human rights of all migrants at borders, both at entry and return, with special attention paid to vulnerable groups, such as unaccompanied children, families with children, pregnant women, persons with disabilities, asylum seekers, refugees, potential victims of trafficking and elderly migrants 3.4 Conduct full individual assessments for all migrants in order to effectively identify their vulnerabilities and the legal frameworks under which their needs will be met and their rights protected 3.5. Decriminalize undocumented entry and stay 3.6. Review national and regional border policies to ensure that the human rights of all migrants at international borders are upheld 3.7. Develop and implement gender- and age-sensitive guidelines to protect migrants in precarious situations 3.8. Adopt approaches that reduce the precariousness of migrants, in particular by avoiding the securitization of migration policies and the externalization of border control 3.9. Returns should be carried out in full respect of international human rights law, in conditions of safety and dignity and with due procedural guarantees 3.10. Systematically implement post-return human rights monitoring and ensure that such monitoring is part of every readmission agreement Indicators (a) Increased number and proportion of migrants protected as a result of search and rescue operations; (b) Considerably reduced number of undocumented migrants who are killed, injured or become victims of crime or violence while seeking to cross maritime, land and air borders; (c) Pushback operations and collective expulsions are stopped; (d) Regular revision of bilateral and regional readmission agreements to ensure their compliance with international human rights standards, thus protecting the needs and rights of migrants; (e) Policies and practices aimed at detecting vulnerabilities and assessments of the protection needs of migrants arriving at international borders are implemented and followed up with appropriate protection measures; (f) Laws, policies and practices that criminalize undocumented migration are abolished and replaced by legislation and regulations that qualify undocumented entry as an administrative rather than a criminal offence; (g) International cooperation is reduced on immigration policies of externalization according to which migrants are prevented from moving on and obliged to remain in countries of transit in which their rights are not respected, and all international cooperation on immigration policies includes the strengthening of the national human rights systems and institutions of countries of origin and transit; (h) Returns are decided after following a strict procedure in which the migrant is duly represented, has access to appropriate legal assistance and interpretation services and has an effective opportunity to explain why a return would not be in respect of his or her rights; (i) Reintegration programmes are provided for migrants who are returned to their countries of origin; 15
